Child Of Rape Offers Thoughtful Perspective On Akin Controversy

So much ink has already been spilled on the gaff made by Rep. Todd Akin and the gang-lynching he has experienced at the hands of the elites in his own party, who fail to show any spine whatsoever when it comes to opposing those who are truly trying to destroy this great country; but Ryan Bomberger with LifeNews actually has a rather refreshing and affirming take on the situation that deserves to be shared.

"Tis the season to be wearing tread marks. Congressman Todd Akins has crawled out from under the bus, brushed himself off and is standing firm."

"A few ill-chosen words expressing a more-common-than-acknowledged misunderstanding of a woman’s biological response to rape have caused him and those harmed by such a violent act, without pause, to be thrown under the bus.

"And, quite frankly, I’m glad such a pro-family, pro-life stalwart, despite a few bumps and lots of scrapes, is not quitting under pressure from hypocritical pro-abortion radicals and spineless Republicans.

"This Akin controversy is less about some poorly chosen words in an expression for support for both mother and child and more about the inexcusable, yet exalted, pro-abortion position that “abortion rights” cannot be threatened. So, while liberals continually use the less than 1% (rape and incest) to justify the other 99%, some are too eager to allow the left to define while the GOP (in this case, the Grand Ole Placaters) reveals it often has no spine."
